Well we have some exciting news for you as ST-Ericsson has developed a new charger capable of halving charging times.

The new charger PM2300 is designed specifically for the use with tablets and smartphones and will increase the speed at which your device is charged by 100%. This is because the rate at which the charger provides juice to your device is 3 Amps.

It is incredibly efficient when it comes to energy with 92% maximum power throughput rating and 60% improved PCB utilization makes the mobile accessory something to be desired. Although the ST-Ericsson PM2300 doesn’t yet have a date of release, tablets that will support the double-speed charging capability are due out this fall, and so the wait can’t be too long.

ST-Ericsson have recently unveiled their new U8500 chip, this 45nm chip will feature two ARM Cortex A9 processors, each of which will un at 1.2GHz, this in affect makes it almost 4 times more powerful than the iPhone’s processor.

This chip will allow future smartphones to undertake much more demanding tasks such as 1080p video recording, displaying at a resolution of 1024×768 and taking photos with a 20 megapixel sensor.

The challenge for manufacturers will be powering this chip for a long period of time, there are rumors of 12 hours of 1080p video playback of a single charge from a 1000 mAh battery, however this in my opinion seems unlikely.

Don’t get too excited for now, apparently this chips are around 1-2 years away.
